Because a non-terrible candidate would do popular things they don't want to do? What even is this question?

So either AOC is a terrible politician or the DNC won't push her.

I mean it's fucking obviously the latter? What's even your point here?

If it's the former, why be excited, if it's the latter, who cares?

There is such a thing as forcing elites to make concessions. Not that I think Americans can or will do it, but it's a thing.

The DNC likely won't push her, they'll push Newsom or Harris (she's already mentioned she's thinking about running again)

And they'll say AOC shouldn't run because a woman can't win up until the very second Harris announces.
